(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists recently unveiled a series of
strange, centuries-old inscriptions at the site believed to
be the location of the Last Supper – just in time for Easter.

The Room of the Last Supper, also known as the Cenacle,
is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The hall was built
by the Crusaders in the 12th century, though pilgrims have
venerated the site as early as the 4th century.

The recent discovery was announced by the Austrian
Academy of Science (OeAW) on April 16, with the help
of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

Archaeologists identified some 40 elements of graffiti,
including five coats of arms.
